What We Offer

Acupuncture is used to treat a wide variety of conditions, such as digestive and respiratory disorders, neurological and muscular problems, headaches, neck and back pain, tennis elbow, tendonitis, sciatica, arthritis, urinary, menstrual and fertility disorders, addictions and insomnia.

We follow both a Chinese medicine and Anatomical approach to acupuncture. Both methods of acupuncture stimulate the body to produce endorphins, which are natural pain relieving chemicals that block pathways that relay pain messages from the body to the brain. This results in relief of pain, general relaxation and biochemical restoration of the body’s own internal regulation systems. The improved energy and biochemical balance that results stimulates the body’s own natural healing abilities, reduces inflammation and promotes physical health.

Athlete sport assessment

This is a one hour sport-specific assessment performed by one of our physiotherapists. Injury prevention strategies are essential for the early detection of abnormalities such as muscle imbalance, poor muscle control and lack of flexibility to prevent injury from occurring. This is a great option for athletes, pre and post season, to physically prepare for competition, ultimately preventing performance limiting injuries.

The assessment will focus on strength, flexibility, proprioception/stability, biomechanics and movement analysis. Based on the findings, each athlete will be provided with a personalized injury prevention training program to address the limitations. Please contact our office staff to book an appointment with Derek Geldrich for this service.

physiotherapy

All of our treatments are manual therapy based, always. This means the therapist will be providing hands-on therapy to treat your condition. All of our physiotherapists have extensive training and skill in manual therapy techniques. These techniques are varied and are the most effective and efficient way at promoting health and recovery from an injury. Following the manual treatment, the therapist will discuss ways to manage your injury, the follow up plan and provide the appropriate home exercises.

If subsequent sessions are needed, the physiotherapist will discuss this with you. During a subsequent treatment, the therapist will always re-assess your condition, and provide the appropriate treatment, education and exercises as needed.
